The campaigning helped me choose a vehicle, I have a soft spot for a working truck. Looks like what I would of done with mine if I had a crane on it.

Tiger Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, Lookout Pass, Homestake Pass, Bozeman Pass and 4th of July Pass. So make that 6 passes, might be a 7th one in there. I've done all 6 in the dead of winter in an emergency in my semi, talk about misery.

Thanks that's good to know, so some of the trailer weight is offset by the bed weight. Have to go across 4 passes to get there and 4 to get back.

Living out here there isn’t anyone coming up your rear unless it’s me in my 5 ton, I actually am the one catching people driving down these gravel roads to town faster than the locals of the 50 miles out here. Though when traveling to another town over that is a good idea.

I have turned the engine up, got a pyro gauge, replaced fuel return valve with adjustable one, getting ready to go with 395's and next is to toss the flatbed off to shave some weight. How much does that flatbed on the back weigh around? Need to haul a backhoe (9,000 lbs) 1200 miles and I...

My prediction still stands and has been proven time and time again.

Attempted to today, but seems the 8mm plug is seized on the injector pump to the point it just stripped out. Time to break out the cutting torch...

Wipers have never been functional. I get so much wind in the cab anything over 20 mph blows out the Buddy Heater I had riding up front. I'm going to fabricate something to fix the gaps if that's how the door windows sit. Got my pole barn ready now for working on her, won't start on it till I get...

I have a new windshield the old one is damaged, rusted and seals dry rotted beyond repair. Someone dropped something on the roof and it doesn't sit right either. Ran out of time to fix anything as I have nowhere to work on it last winter so I drove it as is. Spent all my time getting pole barn...

No there isn't one, we thought of calling her Lucille in name of one I lost to "Type 63" 107 mm missile round, but we decided best to move on from the memories and create new ones in the civilian world.

When all hell is breaking loose is when I show up to save the day with the rig, and the rig works for it's keep. Won't push her too far as I know her limits. Soon she will be bringing all the materials in for a passive solar house for me to build. No matter if it is -40 or if it is 115° she is...

Only going to have 1200W of solar for a 20kWh battery and you are worried about an alternator having enough power to quickly charge a lead acid battery more than .1 C rate. Never mind I’m moving on, I’ll find the door, though I will leave this here…

So you are trying to charge a 24VDC battery bank @ 20kWh which equals around to 833Ah if I am not mistaken at a C rate of .1 a 140A would be sufficient even with all the lights on the rig on. That means you are running around with at least 8 GC's or (12) 2V batteries which means powering up a...

Take’n care of business… She ain’t no parade queen or pavement princess, but she gets the job done of whatever, whenever time and time again.

Seems to be easier to just buy a A1 and put everything over from the A2 on it minus the engine with few mods.

That's the problem, it's fine till I jump in. EPA be having field day after that.

I'm not tainting the gene pool, might have to toss in some chlorine tablets if I do.

Just put lockers in the front rear axle only.
